Press releases
Bois-Colombes, 18th December 2025
As from January 1st, 2026, Sagemcom will enter a new phase of its development with changes in its organisation and its governance. This evolution, prepared long in advance, aims to consolidâtes and accelerate the strategic trajectory pursued over the past years by Sagemcom’s Executive Management.
In this respect, Ahmed Selmani is appointed, as from January 1st, President of the Sagemcom Group. Over the past 18 months as Group CEO, Ahmed Selmani has demonstrated his ability to drive the strategic vision of the entire Group, to lead the teams, and to conduct structuring projects for the future. This appointment is also the result of his exceptional career within the Group, having notably brought the Broadband Solutions business to the position of worldwide leader.
“Sagemcom is entering a new phase of development, with the objective of achieving 3 billion euros revenues by 2030. This dynamic must rely on our fundamentals, which remain unchanged: combining strong innovation anticipating the needs of our customers, excellence in operational efficiency, all in support of commercial development across all continents,” explains Ahmed Selmani.
Patrick Sevian will, on that date, step down from his operational role within the Group to devote himself in particular to his contribution within the Supervisory Board of Sagemcom. He will thus retain a major role in support of the Group, actively contributing to the key strategic orientations for Sagemcom’s future.
His experience, his deep knowledge of the company, and his understanding of our ecosystem are essential assets for performing the work within the Supervisory Board and supporting the Group’s Executive Management in preparing these decisive developments.
“The evolution of our Executive Management directly addresses these goals: it will enable us to consolidate our positions, seize new opportunities, and support sustainable growth, guided by the operational excellence and spirit of innovation that define our identity and that are perfectly embodied by Ahmed Selmani,” adds Patrick Sevian.
Furthermore, the evolution of Sagemcom’s Executive Management is accompanied by a strengthening of the Group’s governance. Thus, alongside Patrick Sevian and Marc Darmon, Senior Vice President Europe of the Thales Group, Philippe Monloubou, former Chairman of the Management Board of ENEDIS, and Fahri Diner, Founder of Plume, will join the Supervisory Board of Sagemcom, chaired by Fabrice Georget, Partner at Charterhouse and main shareholder of the Group. Each will bring to the Board his experience, his expertise, and his knowledge of the markets served by the Group.
This new organisation will make it possible to combine:
- a strong Executive Management fully dedicated to its mission,
- a Supervisory Board expanded to experienced and recognized profiles in our businesses,
- continuity for all our teams, our customers, and our partners.
“We approach this new phase with confidence, convinced that this structural evolution will enable us, together with our teams whose excellence is recognized across all our markets, to strength the growth of our activities and to achieve our ambition for Sagemcom, in collaboration with our partners and in serving our customers,” conclude Ahmed Selmani and Patrick Sevian.

Hamburg, June 23, 2025
Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus is pleased to announce that metering point operators (MSBs) can now implement the secure supply chain (SiLKe) more easily, and that Siconia® SMARTY IQ Smart Meter Gateways (SMGWs) may now be shipped via the MSB supply chain. This highlights Sagemcom’s leading role in the secure and efficient digitalization of the energy transition.
As part of the rollout of smart metering systems (iMSys), the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), together with the “Secure Logistics Chain” project group of the Forum Netztechnik/Netzbetrieb in the VDE (FNN), published a requirements catalog for the so-called MSB supply chain. Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus has proactively integrated these requirements into its processes and now offers customers the option to use the MSB supply chain in addition to the existing SiLKe. The prerequisite is that the respective MSB presents a security concept that complies with the BSI requirements catalog for the MSB supply chain. In this case, the MSB can independently carry out the secure supply chain starting from goods receipt (e.g., from the secured area of the legal owner).
“Now that our SMGWs are certified by the BSI for shipment via the MSB supply chain, we are creating a new level of process security and efficiency for our customers. Using the MSB supply chain enables flexible and economically viable logistics – from production and storage to installation at the end customer’s site,” explains Dr. Holger Graetz, Director Sales & Marketing Energy & Telecom, Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus GmbH. “The ability for delivery by the MSB reduces complexity and costs and significantly accelerates the rollout of smart metering systems.”
Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus invites all interested MSBs and partners to learn more about the benefits of the new supply chain and to help shape the future of digital energy infrastructure together.
